Scientists Turn Cockroaches Into Zombie Slaves
Friday , November 30, 2007

Israeli scientists have figured out how to turn cockroaches into zombie slaves.

They're replicated the mysterious power of the jewel wasp, also known as the emerald cockroach wasp, which incorporates the cockroach into its reproductive cycle in a most gruesome way.

Most parasitic wasps paralyze their victims, but the jewel wasp's sting mysteriously leaves a cockroach able to walk, yet robbed of all free will.

The wasp leads the zombie roach back to its lair, lays an egg in the poor creature and then lets the wasp larva eat the roach alive from the inside out.

The Israeli team, led by Frederic Libersat of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, discovered that a synthetic form of the neurotransmitter octopamine freed stung cockroaches from their zombie-like state.

They then injected other roaches with compounds that blocked octopamine -- and turned them into docile zombies.

The study was documented in the Journal of Experimental Biology

DRavenS13 · 12-01-2007, 01:14 AM

I can't understand why you would want to make zombies.

Don't we have enough drug-addicts? It's the same thing.

Aoshi112 · 12-01-2007, 01:48 AM

but this is a step towards crazier chemical warfare. and think about it, you cant scare a zombie. you cant bring the morale down of a zombie. druggies can freak out or O.D.

IIIXziuR · 12-01-2007, 06:44 AM

*exitspeed* · 12-01-2007, 07:24 AM

Sorry guys and gals, I was busy stocking my Zombie bunker.

And so it begins...

mRclARK1 · 12-01-2007, 08:39 AM

Shotgun? Check.
.45? Check
AK? Check
Grenades? Check
Various other weaponry (knives, C4 etc.)? Check
Zombie Survival Test passed? Check (Got 85%... and only lost that 15% cause I go back for friends who aren't prepared like me.)

Now all I need are the zombies.

CHECK!!!!!!

Time to get fucked up!

*brndck* · 12-01-2007, 08:40 AM

#1 what do vegetarian zombies eat?
GRAINS!!!
#2 what happens when a zombie eats a retards brains?
(i don't know the answer to this one)

89dc240 · 12-01-2007, 08:42 AM

Oh Fuck. Well, I'm gonna go out with a bang, if I should be so unfortunate.

chuy · 12-01-2007, 09:15 AM

time to get supplies Ill be in the mountains making a race track

MrMcgarrett · 12-01-2007, 09:50 AM

It's gonna happen.

I can see it now.
Soon they will be testing it on mice, claiming that there could be some medical benefits and then the human testing will begin.

Things will go terribly wrong and one of the "test subjects" will escape and it's the beginning of the end.
